Jesus, I do not think the Hokies are ever going to live that one down.

I honestly don't know this, but is James Madison going to compete for the 1AA championship? App State was the best team in 1AA when Michigan lost to them.

And I didn't realize this argument was strictly based on OOC.

It's an interesting way of looking at it. Boise demoralized one of the Big Boy's to the point they couldn't get up for a 1-AA. I'm not sure they shouldn't get bonus points for that feat.

JMU kinda sucks this year. I believe they are only 4-3, near the bottom of their conference. There was no excuse for VT to lose to them. The Hokies could win out this season and I would still consider it a failure.

And I do not think it was a case of being demoralized. I simply think the Hokies are constantly overrated and the coaching can be subpar. It doesn't matter that Beamer sucked ESPN's black cock for a few extra bucks in order to move the game to Labour day.

I'm not talking about the means in which Boise won the game, I'm talking about the cause and effect. Boise basically ended a team's season after week 1 which had MNC expectations. Clearly that fucked up their psyche going into James Madison.

OK, I can agree with that.

For some reason, the players, coaches, and idiot fans constantly buy into the notion that this team is constantly on the cusp of the MNC. Despite the fact that they can never beat the calibre of teams you will face in a championship game.

And 3 years later, they still are.

Hey, maybe they can make the move to 1A and in 10-15 years, people can bitch about them not making the BCS title game.

All teams go through different phases in a season. Most teams don't react that well to the road - certainly the further they travel.

Though I'm sure a lot of you didn't watch it, the Oregon/Tennessee game was a defining moment (IMO) for both teams. Oregon traveled across the country. That automatically fucks them up. UT is nothing but Freshmen. In the first quarter, UT absolutely dominated that game. They were riding higher than DiS over a pack of kiddie-doodling police. Normally, a road team like that is fucked if they get jumped on like that. It's not that big a deal in the NFL, but college is a different story. Obviously, Oregon came back and kicked their shit out. They did it again to Stanford (who is definitely a Top 10 team IMO). Had UT been able to hold off the Ducks, god only knows where they'd be now. That game mentally fucked UT for the year. They've shown some blasts of good playing, but they're too young to get the job done. On the other hand, it made the Ducks confidence shoot through the roof.

That's a lot of it. Hell - that's most of it.

I think Mgo made a statement of something like "you know how teams can do from week to week". He was right.

I'd be willing to bet that if OU were to play FSU again AT OU tomorrow, you can forget about OU winning that one by 30. No fucking way. FSU is playing much better ball right now.

Teams can play badly at one point of a season and turn it the fuck around, too. I think you know that.
You're drunk posting aren't you? Do me a favor and have your neighbors watch us this weekend and they can take notes on how to beat Colorado.

Finishing off the season with a win over Tebow helped.

MDA was readily available in Madison throughout the 70s. I believe they called it the "love drug".

Pretty nice timing on their part to silence the naysayers a little.
